Lit trip Through Pride and Prejudice
Major Volcanoes

There are so many upsides to implementing a google earth tour in a classroom. It is extremely interactive, which encourages a higher level of thinking on the students part. Using actual images that students can explore gives them the opportunity to really get connected to the subject matter. It gives students the rare chance to visit places they may never get the chance to actually visit. The downside of using google earth is how complicated and time consuming it can be to create these projects.
